AN industry INITIATIVE tO DEVLOP open project DELIVERY FRAMEWORKS THAT deliver high quality mid-rise housing at scale, more affordably and sustainably.
MEET THE CHALLENGE
Australia's housing challenge has no shortage of intent, investment or capability. What it needs is an initiative that connects these elements into a platform that can start delivering results today.
Meet You In The Middle is an open industry initiative built around prefabricated and mass timber construction — bringing together developers, investors, architects, engineers, suppliers and financiers to create the delivery frameworks, commercial structures and project ecosystem needed to build more homes, more sustainably and more affordably at scale.
a time-risk arbitrage
Two costs add nothing to a project: time and risk.
The opportunity to reduce both lies in taking existing project activities and realigning how they are sequenced, how information flows between participants, and how consultants, contractors, suppliers and clients are aligned around a common framework.
Better alignment, sequencing and information flow create a more rational delivery workflow — one that compresses programs and manages risk rather than pricing it into the project.
This is the arbitrage — value created from better connecting existing capability to deliver more with less.
READY TO DEPLOY
The urgency of the housing challenge demands progress that can begin today — practical steps that start the journey. And our construction industry has the capability, compliance pathways, expertise and supply chains to answer that call.
The potential to be realised is already present. What remains is the catalyst to connect it and set it in motion.
The platform is that catalyst — the structures, connections and framework needed to put existing capability to work.
Ready to deploy.
BANK ON IT
Every project exists within a feasibility context that ultimately determines whether it proceeds, stalls or fails.
Program improvements and risk reductions only create value when they can be expressed as metrics that lenders, investors and developers can rely on when making decisions that matter.
Genuine delivery improvements need a tangible commercial basis to be achieved. Present in the numbers as much as they will be present on site.
An effective approach also needs to consider how to make real world improvements legible to financial stakeholders — feeding back into delivery structures to create the accountability and controls that turn promise into performance, and giving stakeholders the commercial confidence to back more projects.
